Duncan Ingram attended the Governor's Honors Program where he was inspired to pursue biomechanical engineering research after experiencing a preventable injury. Through his research on shoe design and the natural form of the foot, he hopes to create safer products that can prevent injuries and allow for a more natural running style. His experience in the program included working with a facilitator on drawing, design, and 3D modeling software as well as presenting his research ideas to biomechanics expert Danny Abshire, though meeting deadlines and time management proved challenging.
